ANY QUESTIONS?


ISIS blog bunny may be obsessed with visuals.... but he's also a huge Radio 4 fan... so when Jonathan Dimbleby and co were in town for a live 'Any Questions', he sent Isis Creative Director Catherine off to join the audience at Arden Academy in Knowle, Solihull.

On the panel were Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, historian and Labour MP Tristram Hunt, Conservative MP and historian Kwasi Kwarteng and director of the Institute of Economic Affairs, Mark Littlewood (see picture with Catherine) .

Questions ranged from the economy to nuclear power via fig trees at Portcullis House, and Murdoch's 'Sunday Sun'.

Shock of the night was that only one lone audience member admitting to have been a fan of the News Of The World....!

2012!!

Happy New Year!

2011 ended with a busy and really enjoyable few months of work producing a series of films celebrating creativity initiatives in schools. Sculpture, gardening, keeping sheep and dance were all on the agenda and (if we say so ourselves) made for some fab films!

Meanwhile, our international distributors Electric Sky have been busy selling our lifestyle titles to broadcasters across the world - and we're chuffed to say that our 15 part series for Discovery, CENTRAL STEAM has now been released on DVD in a super-dooper shiny box set!!

After our win at the Bridport Film Festival , Isis Drama is ready for more action later this month as we shoot in the Midlands and as soon as we're allowed to tell you more, we will! Until then... Happy 2012!
